Next, computer-aided design (CAD) software is used to create a customized restoration specifically to closely match your teeth and meet your unique dental needs. Finally, the restoration will be attached to the tooth and checked for position, placement and bite function.

Did you know that straightening your teeth has benefits beyond cosmetic improvement? Misaligned or crowded teeth can make maintaining hygiene difficult, which may lead to oral health problems. Crooked teeth and bite problems can sometimes lead to:

• Tooth damage and chipping
• Tooth loss
• Wearing away of tooth enamel
• Difficulty speaking or chewing

In addition to giving you the beautiful smile that you deserve, straightening your teeth may reduce the risk of cavities and help prevent gum disease.

Your Journey to a Confident Smile Starts with SureSmile ® Clear Aligners

Clear aligner technology has made orthodontic treatment more discreet, while moving teeth to create a healthy, beautiful smile. Unlike traditional metal braces which rely on brackets and wires, SureSmile ® straightens teeth through a series of clear, comfortable, removable aligners. You can expect to wear your aligners for 22 hours each day and change them every two weeks as you progress through treatment. Each set of aligners will put gentle pressure on your teeth to gradually reposition them until your smile reaches ideal alignment.

SureSmile ® Clear Aligners can effectively treat bite problems, including:

• Crowding
• Gaps between teeth
• Underbite – when all the upper teeth sit behind the lower jaw
• Overbite – when the upper front teeth cover part of the lower front teeth
• Crossbite – when one or more upper teeth fit inside of the lower teeth

Treatment time will vary based on your unique smile and goals, but generally lasts anywhere from 6 to 18 months.

Now available with SureSmile ® Clear Aligners, the SureSmile ® VPro™ is a convenient and portable device designed for 5 minutes of daily use. SureSmile ® VPro™ can help provide added comfort 1,2 and may reduce aligner treatment time. 1,3

Great news – you don’t need to give up your favorite foods while you’re in treatment! However, you do need to remove your aligners when eating and drinking all liquids except for cool water to retain their fit and prevent discoloration. Simply remove your aligners to eat and drink all the foods and beverages you typically enjoy, then brush your teeth before putting your SureSmile ® Clear Aligners back in place.

As dental technology evolves, so does our practice and we are proud to offer SureSmile ® Clear Aligners to our patients. Advanced treatment planning and proven materials combine to give you a personalized plan with predictable results. 750,000 patients have trusted SureSmile ® technology to straighten their teeth.
